JP 2003-231427 A (see paragraphs [0040], [0041], [0061] and [0061] and [FIG. 6])

  In the thing of patent document 1, since the navigation screen will be displayed small when the backseat remote control is operated, the information regarding navigation was not sufficiently transmitted to persons other than the operator.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an operation system in which an operation screen does not interfere with other screens even during operation.

  The present invention is an operation system including an operation terminal that outputs operation data corresponding to an operation, and an operated terminal that executes processing corresponding to the operation data output from the operation terminal. A control unit that causes the communication unit to output transition data for transitioning the operation screen on the display unit of the operation terminal in response to the input of the operation data output from the operation terminal. An operation system including a display control unit that causes an operation screen to transition on a display unit in accordance with transition data output from an operation terminal.

  The interpretation of the lexical terms in the claims is as follows. “Operation data corresponding to an operation” is data that is output when an operation is performed, and is data that causes the operated terminal to perform a specific process.

  The “operation terminal” is a device that is capable of bidirectional communication and includes a display unit, and the bidirectional communication is preferably a wireless system. For example, there are a remote controller, a cellular phone (including PHS), a personal computer (including PDA), and the like.

  The “operated terminal” is a video device capable of two-way communication, regardless of whether it is a device provided in the passenger compartment. For example, there are a navigation device and a television receiver.

  The “operation screen” is an image that is displayed according to the operation status. For example, there are a menu screen displayed before the operation and a confirmation screen displayed after the operation.

  The “display unit” is a surface that displays an image.

  The “transition” is an operation for shifting from one state to another state. For example, there is an operation of moving from a menu screen to an operation confirmation screen.

  “Transition data for transitioning the operation screen on the display unit of the operation terminal” means that the process corresponding to the operation data from the operation terminal is performed on the operated terminal or the process is performed on the operated terminal. This is a concept that also includes data for allowing the operating terminal to identify this.

  “According to input” means that the input is a condition. For example, there are a condition that the input is performed simultaneously and a condition that a predetermined time has elapsed after the input.

  In the present invention, the control unit causes the communication unit to output image data corresponding to a transition destination operation screen together with the transition data.

  The interpretation of the lexical terms in the claims is as follows. The “transition destination operation screen” is another operation screen in the case of shifting from one operation screen to another operation screen.

  In this invention, the said control part controls whether the process corresponding to the operation data output by the said operating terminal is performed according to the terminal identification data output by the said operating terminal.

  The interpretation of the lexical terms in the claims is as follows. The “terminal identification data” is data for identifying the operation terminal that has output the operation data.

  In the present invention, the control unit causes the communication unit to output different transition data according to the terminal identification data output from the operation terminal, and changes the transition destination from one operation screen for each operation terminal. It is characterized by.

  The interpretation of the lexical terms in the claims is as follows. “Different from one operation screen to each operation terminal” means that when one operation screen moves to another operation screen, the other operation screen varies from one operation terminal to another. It is preferable to use data in which a transition destination from one operation screen is associated with an operation terminal.

  The present invention provides a control unit that outputs transition data for transitioning the operation screen on the display unit of the operation terminal to the communication unit in response to the input of the operation data output from the operation terminal. However, it is possible to provide an operation system having an effect that the operation screen does not interfere with other screens.

ROM 13 (corresponding to “display control unit”), CPU 14 (corresponding to “display control unit”) for executing a program stored in ROM 13, RAM 15 for holding various data, and for data input / output An input / output IF 16 interposed between the RAM 15 and various peripheral devices is provided, and these are connected to each other via a bus.

  The ROM 13 stores a navigation operation program for outputting operation data for causing the navigation device 3 to perform a specific process (hereinafter referred to as a navigation operation) in addition to a call program for executing a call process. Yes. The navigation operation program may be acquired from the navigation device 3 via the first CCU 11 or may be acquired from a server on the public line via the second CCU 12. The ROM 13 stores various data constituting operation data, image data corresponding to the operation screen, and the like.

  A microphone 21 and an operation switch 22 are connected to the input side of the input / output IF 16, and data from these is input to the RAM 15. On the other hand, a speaker 23 and a display 24 (corresponding to a “display unit”) are connected to the output side, and data from the CPU 14 or the like is output to the speaker 23 and the display 24 side.

  <Configuration of Navigation Device 3> As shown in FIG. 2, the navigation device 3 includes a CCU 31 (corresponding to a “communication unit”) that controls communication with the mobile phone 2, and a ROM 32 (“control”) that stores various programs. A CPU 33 for executing a program stored in the ROM 32 (corresponding to a “control unit”), a RAM 34 for holding various data, a RAM 34 and various peripheral devices for data input / output And an HDD 36 for storing various data, which are connected to each other via a bus.

  The ROM 32 stores a transition program for outputting transition data according to operation data, in addition to a navigation program for executing navigation processing corresponding to operation data from the mobile phone 2.

  An azimuth sensor 41, a speed sensor 42, a GPS receiver 43, and an operation switch 44 are connected to the input side of the input / output IF 35, and data from these is input to the RAM 35. On the other hand, a speaker 45 and a display 46 are connected to the output side, and data from the CPU 34 or the like is output to the speaker 45 and the display 46 side.

  <Operation> The operation of the video apparatus operating system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, in the mobile phone 2, the CPU 14 interprets each program stored in the ROM 13, and in the navigation device 3, the CPU 33 interprets each program stored in the ROM 32, and the following processing is executed. The

  In the mobile phone 2, the CPU 14 activates the navigation operation program in response to the user's activation instruction given by the operation switch 22 (step S <b> 1). At this time, on the display 24, it is preferable to switch the “@ application” screen (see FIG. 4A) to the “application in progress” screen (see FIG. 4B). Data for identifying the navigation device 3 by the CPU 14 may be registered in advance, and the activation process may be performed on the condition that the data is received from the navigation device 3.

  When the activation of the navigation operation program is completed, the CPU 14 displays an operation menu screen on the display 24 (step S2). At this time, an “operation menu” is displayed on the display 24 as an operation screen (see FIG. 4C), and the user selects a menu with the operation switch 22 (P1). In the present embodiment, the following description is given on the assumption that route guidance is selected.

  When the route guidance is selected, the CPU 14 causes the first CCU 11 to output operation data corresponding to the user operation (step S3). Here, the operation data is data obtained by combining various data stored in the ROM 13. As shown in FIG. 5, the operation data includes header data for identifying the destination computer as the operation data, terminal identification data for identifying the destination computer to the destination computer, and output source navigation. Synchronization data for identifying the operation state to the partner computer and menu ID data for identifying the menu selected at the output source to the partner computer are included. In step S3, the operation data includes, as synchronization data, data for allowing the CPU 33 of the navigation device 3 to identify that the navigation operation has started on the mobile phone 2, and that the selected menu is route guidance. Data for identifying the CPU 33 of the navigation device 3 is included as menu ID data.

  When the operation data is output from the mobile phone 2, in the navigation device 3, the CPU 33 causes the input / output IF 35 to input the operation data received by the CCU 31 to the RAM 34 (step S4). At this time, since the synchronization data indicates that the navigation operation has been started in the mobile phone 2, processing for invalidating operation data from mobile phones other than the mobile phone 2 is performed using the terminal identification data. Even if operation data is input, the display 46 does not display the operation screen corresponding to the menu ID data, but exclusively displays the navigation screen (see FIG. 6A).

  When operation data is input, the CPU 33 causes the CCU 31 to output transition data (step S5). Here, the transition data is a combination of various data stored in the HDD 36. As shown in FIG. 5, the transition data includes header data for identifying the destination computer as transition data, terminal identification data for identifying the output source to the computer, and navigation operations to be performed at the destination. The synchronization data for identifying the state of the other party to the other party computer is included. In step S5, the transition data includes data for allowing the CPU 14 of the mobile phone 2 to identify that the navigation operation should be continued in the mobile phone 2 as synchronization data.

  When the transition data is output in the navigation device 3, in the mobile phone 2, the CPU 14 causes the input / output IF 16 to input the transition data received by the first CCU 11 to the RAM 15 (step S6).

  When the transition data is input, the CPU 14 displays an operation screen corresponding to the transition data on the display 24 (step S7). In step S6, since the data for identifying the CPU 14 of the mobile phone 2 to continue the navigation operation in the mobile phone 2 is input as the synchronization data, the “route guidance menu” is displayed as the transition destination operation screen. 24 (see FIG. 4D), the user selects a menu with the operation switch 22 (P2). In the present embodiment, processing similar to the processing from step S3 to step S7 is repeated, and the operation screen is “route guidance menu” (see FIG. 4D), “display setting menu” (FIG. 4E). )), “Facility display menu” (see FIG. 4F) and “convenience store display” (see FIG. 4G). In the following description, it is assumed that the convenience store display is finally selected to be valid.

  When the convenience store display is selected to be valid, the CPU 14 causes the first CCU 11 to output operation data corresponding to the user operation (step S8). At this time, the operation data includes, as synchronization data, data for allowing the CPU 33 of the navigation device 3 to identify the end of the navigation operation on the mobile phone 2, and that the selected menu is valid for convenience store display. Data for identifying the CPU 33 of the navigation device 3 is included as menu ID data.

  When the operation data is output from the mobile phone 2, in the navigation device 3, the CPU 33 causes the input / output IF 35 to input the operation data received by the CCU 31 to the RAM 34 (step S9). At this time, since the synchronization data indicates that the navigation operation is finished in the mobile phone 2, processing for validating operation data from a mobile phone other than the mobile phone 2 is performed using the terminal identification data.

  When the operation data is input, the CPU 33 executes a process corresponding to the operation data (step S10). In the present embodiment, since the menu ID data included in the operation data indicates that the convenience store display is valid, the CPU 33 causes the display 46 to display the convenience store mark “CVS” together with the navigation screen (FIG. 6 ( see b)).

  When the process corresponding to the operation data is executed, the CPU 33 causes the CCU 31 to output transition data (step S11). The transition data includes data for allowing the CPU 14 of the mobile phone 2 to identify that the navigation operation should be completed on the mobile phone 2 as synchronization data.

  When the transition data is output in the navigation device 3, in the mobile phone 2, the CPU 14 causes the input / output IF 16 to input the transition data received by the first CCU 11 to the RAM 15 (step S12).

  When the transition data is input, the CPU 14 displays an operation screen corresponding to the transition data on the display 24 (step S13). In step S12, since data for identifying the CPU 14 of the mobile phone 2 that the navigation operation should be completed in the mobile phone 2 is input as synchronization data, “Operation is complete” as the operation screen of the transition destination. Is displayed on the display 24 (see FIG. 4H).

  <Effects in the Present Embodiment> According to the present embodiment, the mobile phone 2 displays the operation screen on the display 24 in accordance with the transition data from the navigation device 3, so that the navigation device 3 can be operated during the operation. The screen does not have to be displayed on the display 46, and other screens are not interfered with by the operation screen even during the operation. That is, even during operation, navigation information can be sufficiently transmitted to those other than the operator.

  <Modification> In the above description, image data corresponding to the operation screen is stored in the ROM 13, but other embodiments may be used. For example, the navigation device 3 may read the image data from the HDD 36 and output it together with the transition data. Further, when the mobile phone 2 receives the transition data, the image data may be acquired from a server on the public line. According to these embodiments, it is sufficient for the mobile phone 2 to store necessary image data in the RAM 15 as appropriate, and therefore a storage medium for storing image data corresponding to all operation screens at all times is used as the mobile phone 2. There is no need to provide it.

  In the above description, the operation screen displays “route guidance menu” (see FIG. 4D), “display setting menu” (see FIG. 4E), and “facility display menu” (FIG. 4F). (Refer to FIG. 4 (g)), the “route guide menu” (refer to FIG. 4 (d)) to “convenience store display” (FIG. 4 (g)). You may make a direct transition to Specifically, the navigation device 3 stores in the HDD 36 a correspondence relationship between the transition data having the convenience store display as the transition destination operation screen and the terminal identification data indicating the mobile terminal 2. When the navigation device 3 receives the synchronization data indicating the operation start state from the portable terminal 2, the navigation device 3 outputs transition data having the convenience store display as a transition destination operation screen. According to this embodiment, whether or not an intermediate operation is omitted can be made different for each mobile phone. In addition, the operation to be permitted can be different for each mobile phone.

  As described above, the operation system according to the present invention has an effect that the operation screen does not interfere with other screens even during operation, and is useful as a video device operation system for operating a video device with a mobile terminal. is there.
